I am a freelance editor and writing teacher, and a 2015 MFA graduate from the Rainier Writing Workshop, with a concentration in poetry. I've performed and taught at 150+ venues around the country—literary and arts centers, festivals, conferences, bookstores, museums, and cafés—as well as been featured on public radio and television programs. My poems have appeared in literary journals, anthologies, art exhibits, and dance performances; and, in 2011, my poem “The Way Back” won 1st place in the 6th Annual Writer’s Digest Poetry Awards. Since 2009, I've designed and hosted multiple hybrid-arts community events along the Front Range; and I continue to teach webinars and in-person workshops for teens and adults.
